	There is a reason why the Merriam life zones that Klots made such
good use of are not being mentioned as much these days. The basic concept
of 'climax vegetation' is no longer so firmly in place as it once was,
and Merriam's zones do not play a major role in modern ecology. The
situation appears to be a bit more complex...
